Almost spilled my coffee over this one lol well done sir, well done.

Cuba is a place people actually want to visit as opposed to NK ^^

I may be a little ignorant on the issue but this just feels a bit like negative propaganda to me.


No, this is true.

North Korea operates a network of fucking delicious restaurants that give their proceeds directly to the government.



How do you know they don't lace the food with heroin and you're now addicted?

North Korea seems to be very adept at finding sources of money that are incredibly inefficient.

I recently patronized a North Korean restaurant in Shanghai (delicious food, by the way), but even if their total sales were ALL given back to Pyongyang, there's no way that restaurant could've given more than a few million dollars back to the government.

...although I suppose opening delicious restaurants is much better than ruining thousands of peoples' lives via drugs or arms sales.

lol im getting wierd feelings from this

Is this for real...

In that case this may justify MMO hosts getting government funding to hire more staff to actively ban botters - thus improving gameplay for the legitimate players. Hooray?

This remind me of when there were rumors that Saddam Hussein was using a big cluster of PS3 consoles to create a super computer.
